General Description of Collection: This information collection establishes ongoing authority for FDIC to conduct yet-to-be-determined occasional quality-of service surveys under OMB's generic survey program. Once this information collection extension request is approved by OMB, FDIC will be able to obtain expedited approval of individual surveys by following a special submission process that does not require the publication of Federal Register notices for each individual survey. Generic clearance requests should be approved by OMB within five business days of submission. FDIC estimates that the generic surveys to be deployed under this information collection each will involve an average of 850 respondents, generally should not require more than one hour per respondent to complete, and are always voluntary in nature. FDIC estimates that it will deploy approximately 20 such surveys annually. The purpose of the surveys is, in general terms, to obtain anecdotal information on a voluntary basis about quality of service, regulatory burden, problems or successes in the bank supervisory process (including exams related to both safety and soundness, and compliance with consumer protection laws and regulations), the perceived need for regulatory or statutory change, and similar concerns. There is no change in the substance or methodology of this information collection and the estimated annual burden remains unchanged.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the information collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All comments will become a matter of public record.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
